What would you do when two of your closest friends go inexplicable missing?????scourge then ends of the earth in order to trace them; make a beeline to the nearest police station or then simply wait until the imbroglio resolves itself.........

Unfolding events and circumstances make Vishu painfully aware of the fact that he can only trust his wits acumen and grey matter as well as his soul mate Akhila and a kindly gentleman answering to the name of Inspector Aditya Shetty in his untiring and ceaseless quest for his friends.........
There are no prizes for arriving at the conclusion that Vishu does indeed succeed in his mission to find his three friends and pieces of his own heart; but what makes "Bangalore Chronicles: A Kidnap" stand apart from it's peers in this genre is the vortex of emotions that it manages to conjure up leaving the reader gasping for breath and clutching at his/her throat by the time he/she turns the last page of this noteworthy work........
